Chapter 99
Qiu Chi raised an eyebrow. “Are you addicted to getting beaten? Does seeing someone else get beaten make you uncomfortable?”
Lou Yu: “...I just want to kill Lu Ziang for revenge.”
“The man is half-dead, and now you show up for revenge? Why didn't I see you rush up, snatch him away, and kill him just now?”
Lou Yu said nothing in response to Qiu Chi's sarcasm, simply stepping forward and pulling Lu Ziang up.
Lu Ziang tried to argue, “It’s not like that…”
Unfortunately, just as he managed to get those four words out, he was interrupted by a scream.
The one who interrupted him was none other than his daughter, Lu Yuan.
“Shangguan Yue, how can you be so cruel? Not only did you slander my father with baseless accusations, but you also injured him this badly! Brother Lou, don't believe her. She must be lying to you!”
Resting her chin on her hand, Qiu Chi lazily glanced at Lu Yuan, who stood far away with the Lu family members, not daring to approach. A smirk touched her lips. “Why are you standing so far away? Come, step forward and speak. I didn't see you say anything to stop me when I was beating him just now, did I?”
Of course, Lu Yuan didn't dare to step forward. Hearing Qiu Chi's words, she not only stayed put but even took two steps back. “You… are you all just going to watch her be so arrogant? Look at how many people she's killed! Aren't you going to do anything about it?”
The other families and sects below the stage: “…” You yourself said she's killed that many people. Are we supposed to intervene, or go get ourselves killed?
At this moment, their train of thought miraculously aligned with Lou Yu's. They all believed that Shangguan Yue must have used some unknown method to summon wandering ghosts and wild spirits; otherwise, how could she possibly be so powerful?
But knowing was one thing. For these ghosts to appear in broad daylight was proof of their profound power. They could only feel fortunate that they hadn't been involved in the massacre of the Shangguan family.
While Lu Yuan was still trying to incite others to deal with Qiu Chi, Lou Yu had already taken out a dagger and begun his cruel work on Lu Ziang.
He didn't let Lu Ziang die immediately, but instead brought the dagger down on his body, one cut after another.
When Lu Yuan saw this, she fainted from fright.
Many people in the crowd wore expressions of discomfort.
Any from the Lu family who had dared to step forward were either lying on the ground half-dead or completely dead.
The most the others did was whisper, “Even with such a grudge, this is going too far, isn't it?”
Qiu Chi even had the leisure to chime in, “What, you think me beating him half to death is getting in the way of your performance?”
Lou Yu continued to play deaf and mute.
Only after torturing Lu Ziang to death did he look at Qiu Chi. There was blood on his hands and face, and his gaze held a hint of madness. “Today, you must get out of her body!”
The others below the stage wished they were deaf.
Qiu Chi found it rather awkward. “Haven't you had enough of playing the deeply affectionate lover? Now that the truth is out, shouldn't you atone with your death?”
“After I drive you out of her body, I will naturally go to her and atone for my sins!”
“Then why don't you hurry up and die!”
If she weren't afraid that killing him would cause this damn world to restart, forcing her to go through it all again, she would have killed him long ago.
Since a physical attack was out, she could only resort to a psychological one.
Unfortunately, Lou Yu always clung to some extravagant hope.
He said nothing, merely setting off a signal flare.
Then, after a short while, a circle of monks and ethereal-looking Daoist priests emerged.
Qiu Chi couldn't help but laugh out loud. “This? This is it? And here I thought you had some grand plan.”
No matter how well the monks and Daoist priests had hidden, they couldn't escape Qiu Chi's notice, though she hadn't paid them much mind at first.
Now that she knew Lou Yu was behind it, she just found it ridiculous.
Qiu Chi remained seated in her sedan chair, letting the monks surround the stage to chant scriptures and the Daoist priests draw all sorts of talismans. In any case, not a single one of them dared to get close.
Qiu Chi's tone was leisurely, and she was even in the mood to share snacks. “Since you love dreaming so much, I'll let you see the final result. It would be for the best if you could just die of anger.”
Lou Yu merely kept a cold face and remained silent.
The people below, however, felt that Qiu Chi was becoming increasingly arrogant. To act this way in the face of so many masters, her power must be profound. They just wanted to sneak away now, lest she be angered in the end and go on a killing spree, taking them down with her.
Unfortunately, just as someone tried to sneak away, Qiu Chi called out to them. “Don't go. Leaving before such a great show is over? Aren't you curious about the ending?”
“Wait until Lou Yu dies of anger, or until he sees the light and decides to kill himself. In short, whenever Lou Yu dies is when you can all leave.”
